The best fins you can buy IMO people will balk t the price but let me tell you how much propulsion and energy savings these babies will give you. That means less air consumption and maximized dives. I think it might be my favorite piece of kit after my regulator.

Love the fins, but I hate the bungee style straps that they come with. Thankfully, the old style ratchet straps were still good from my old fins so simply swap them over, but I will probably look elsewhere next time.

Started my diving career with split fin's cause that was what everyone said you had to have, well found out that was incorrect with the first rippin current I got into. As soon as I got back home I looked for a new pair of fin's and these caught my eye right away, started with the all black pair and they are by far the best and only fin's I have used now on over 400 dive's. Liked them so much I bought a 2nd pair to keep down in Cozumel so I wouldnt have to lug them with me when I traveled. Then met my future wife and bought her and pair and she loves them, the perfect color for her and everything. I highly recommend these fin's and will wear these out till they break and buy another pair.

I ordered white and black fins, they are very stylish and durably made. I can't wait to get them in water for my next dive

Used for certification instead of old rocket fins. Nice to use,Looking forward to more use.Middle is clear,,looks like no fin is there ! Holes on sole-no suction effect. .

X-Stream comfort, X-ceptional efficiency, the X-Stream Fin from Mares is a performance, comfortable and lightweight design and are the incredible result of sixty passionate years at the service of diving. The X-Stream is truly a leap into the future, and changes forever how we envision the creation of a fin. More than 2 years of resources, experiments and testing and four Mares patents all concentrated in one unique product. The Optimized Pivoting Blade system (OPB) allows the blade to maintain an optimal angle throughout the kicking cycle, whereas traditional fins achieve this only during a small portion of the cycle, OPB produces a constant thrust, which minimizes fatigue and produces fluid movement through the water.
The ergonomically designed foot pocket delivers maximum power and evenly distributes pressure over the foot to minimize fatigue. The foot pocket interior features internal ribbing that improves fit, eliminates foot suction and prevents foot pocket flexing, while transmitting more power to the blade. The limiting factors in traditional open heel foot pockets are their weight and the parachute effect". When finning, water gets into the space between the bootie and the foot pocket, creating drag like the air in a parachute. The perforations prevent this and have the additional benefit of making the foot pocket very soft and flexible. Furthermore, the suction effect which can make doffing of the fins cumbersome, is now forever a thing of the past.
The Mares bungee fin straps where created as a smart alternative to the steel spring straps, this unique fin strap relegates adjusting a fin strap to a thing of the past. Bungees exceed steel springs in all aspects: Higher elastic properties, unaffected by sun, salt and chemical agents, lower weight and lower cost, and Mares has 40 years of experience using bungees as a key element in spear guns. With the new Mares bungee strap donning and doffing a fin is a breeze and the comfort during the dive is guaranteed by the new ergonomic heel cover. The heel cover comes equipped with a large hand loop allowing easy pull-to-stretch the bungee strap effortlessly over the heel of your foot.
The Super-Channel is designed for the diver who wants the perfect blend of power and efficiency in one fin. The new blade design with a large central super-channel and two traditional lateral channels provide excellent thrust while maintaining hi-efficiency and minimizing leg fatigue. The blade uses tri-material construction, constructed of techno-polymers and thermoplastic rubber for extended durability. Mares design inspired by marine mammals. Channel thrust technology maximizes the channeling of water and moves a much greater amount of water compared to other fins of the same size. The result is greater thrusting power with the same amount of effort. The adjustable fin straps are equipped with large heel pull tabs for easy donning and doffing. Fins overall lengths are 23" to 25.2" (60cm to 64cm) depending on size and weights 3.3 lbs. (1.5 kg) in size regular. Fins are available in multiple sizes and colors. Regular size has a blade surface area of 116.3 cubic inches (750 cubic centimeters).
